This used to work but now the last modified date is reported as 0, is this a website or Java11 related issue? Without the date the tool would report an update was available, even if it is the same as the installed core file.

Via drag and drop I entered the web locations in the Explorer and next I open the Edit menu of a web location and clicked the update button to get a thumb image for the site. But that does not work for this version, I get a handshake_failure message, see attached screenshot an this test album.

Yes, I tried that and it worked, so I downloaded 16.2 and 17 and ran the update tool and it worked on both; yet the last two core updates failed with the tool when trying to update from b4 and b5.

It could have been gremlins or me (not sure how though as running the tool is simple), I'll just have to try the tool again on the next core update - if there is one. If anyone else has run the tool and not had problems then it must be me.

Having updated to 17.1b6 I am now getting a crash on launch, No ScriptLanguage enum constant for extension groovy

We're sorry. jAlbum is unable to start. Please pass this error report to support@jalbum.net
Thank you for your patience.

In the new version is less room in combo boxes as in the last released version, see attached screenshots.
I am sure that in screenshot ComboBoxProblem2.PNG in the released version is displayed 'px' instead of '...'.

I started a new project of an album with 4 sub-folders and no images in the parent folder.

After a make I see immediately Done and no images are made in the output directorey.

The attached screen shot show the final status and the contents of the output directory.

I used the FancyBox skin and the Miunimal skin, both with the same result.

Next I selected Logging level All, the console outut is attached. the last statement is:

FINEST: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: SlideModel

Edit:

Sorry, my fault: "processing subdirectories was off.

To make jAlbum really user-friendly, it should give a warning if check-mark 'Process subdirectories' is cleared while there are non-excluded subdirectories!

Or even better: remove check-mark 'Process subdirectories'; if the user does not want to process subdirectories he can always exclude all subdirectories to get the same effect.
In that case it is ofcourse required to solve the Multiple include bug which is also not solved in this version!

These are advanced settings for a purpose. Don't go there unless you wish to have this detailed control. We should perhaps add a "reset to defaults" setting that can help sorting out these kinds of issues quickly.

With regards to the include/exclude bug. I believe you, but please don't keep iterating it unless you've figured out how to reproduce it on another computer. We've tried to reproduce it several times but fail to do so.
